Hopefully these stats are actually being used by the rainmakers and decision makers in college football and in government. Plus people trying to open elementary schools as well. These stats line up to what Ive seen first hand in the ICU and ORs of hospitals. The youngest patient I’ve even seen...

There are no There are no definite answers, however it’s almost certain that containing the virus is impossible. The only way to truly slow it down is mass exposure as what happened in NY in April, mass exposure will be much more effective quickly than a vaccine which is very difficult to...

A player could die with an undiagnosed heart condition such as IHSS, traumatic injury falling off their scooter or from heat stroke, that could happen. A healthy 18 year old athlete randomly getting COVID and ending up dead from a cytokine induced pulmonary edema is just a CNN fantasy. That...

you mean deuce? I think we beat penn state with deuce running wild.

Meh. I’m sure the folks on the story county board of health are nice and well meaning people, but I’m not sure they have any authority over anything. What do the Marshall county board of health people say? What about Boone county? Maybe ISU can run over and play in lower risk marshalltown.

You have to realize though, my particular real life perspective doesn’t translate into clicks, television ratings or votes. So it’s of little value to people shaping the narrative.

I have a unique perspective here. I’m an anesthesiologist, I spent the month of April in NYC during the peak of the pandemic working in COVID ICUs and I’ve actually been COVID positive myself and I survived. These players across the country are all asymptomatic and at worst have had very mild...

I disagree. A college athlete with no immunological compromise will not die of COVID. People dying under the age of 25 are patients with underlying disease, transplants or cancer. I would bet every penny I have that if a normal season is held no division 1 football or basketball player would die...

It’s kinda nice for Iowa to have a minor league team in the MAC for players to prove themselves!

Look, I agree, there is no way to prove anything with complete certainty. Especially for the average fan. However I think that needs to be realized. Yes, I do trust James Daniels or Jaleel more than I trust akrum wadleys mom. Simply because one is monetizing and one isn’t. These NFL guys are...

I hate the story and I hate the idea of racial disparity in the Iowa program. My 2 sons are black and the idea of Doyle or any coach telling them he’s going to send them back to the streets is despicable. The issue is that some of these stories are fiction and they need to be parsed and...

It’s rich for a media member to say fans are hurting recruiting by being critical of a former player (who never saw the field) meanwhile a media member with 40k followers retweets every negative tweet about the program as if they are completely documented, corroborated events. Those tweets are...

Definitely not unique to Iowa, but a program like Iowa sets itself up to be a target. When you are an overachieving program being competitive with 2-3 star recruits, you have to be extremely disciplined and militaristic in your prep. If you are rolling out 5* recruits Like Ohio state or Clemson...

This is the beautiful thing. Gundy is an idiot, but he has a right to wear a shirt in a peaceable way, Chuba has a right to speak out and both men also have to deal with the fallout. That’s called America. You can say whatever you want peacefully, but you have to live with others doing it as...

I agree with everything you are sayings I’m just curious about KF being an “asshole in his own way” I find that to be an interesting comment. I have no question he can be a demanding hard coach, because you don’t get to his level of success being Santa Claus. based on first hand info, can you...
